As the Hop Farm festival gets underway this weekend at Paddock Wood, plans are being finalised for a Reggae festival at the same venue in August. The One Love Festival will celebrate 50 years of Jamaican Independence.

It’s also screening a film telling the story behind Reggae legend Bob Marley’s life. The film presents the ‘lost footage of Bob Marley’ shot by Esther Anderson in 1973 and shows his first ever rehearsal with the Wailers.. After the screening festival goers will be able to ask Esther questions.
